Benefits of technology

[0016] In this way, it is possible to observe in a quick and reliable manner whether the seat is attached correctly, with respect to this linking device, without complex or costly means.

Problems solved by technology

However, it has been observed that this technique involved drawbacks, under certain conditions.
In the event of sudden braking, for example, or an impact, it is understood that the child seat may tilt forwards, sinking into the vehicle seat base, which naturally represents a significant hazard for the child.

Embodiment Construction

[0038] Therefore, the invention is intended to be fitted in child seats, intended to be fitted in a motor vehicle such as that for example illustrated schematically in FIG. 1.

[0039] This seat 11 is added to a rear seat 12 of a motor vehicle and attached to said vehicle using rigid means 13 provided for this purpose, accessible between the back and seat base of the rear seat 12.

[0040] This technique is known as “isofix” and has been standardised.

[0041] As already mentioned, it is observed that, while this technique is practical and ergonomic, it involves a drawback in the event of an impact or sudden braking. Indeed, in this case, the child seat tends to move forwards and downwards as illustrated by the arrow 14.

[0042] To prevent this problem, the standardising organism has provided for the presence of a strap 14, fitted on the upper part of the back of the seat 11, and planned to be attached to suitable means provided for this purpose in the vehicle.

[0043] The invention relates...

Abstract

A child seat linking device with a first portion of strap in a motor vehicle is characterized in that it comprises two mutually moveable linking components between an idle position and a working position adopted when the first portion of strap is taut. A return device tends to return the linking components to the idle position. A tension indicator distinguishes whether the linking device is in the idle position or in the working position.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The field of the invention is that of child care, and more specifically that of child seats intended to be fitted in a motor vehicle. More specifically, the invention relates to the checking of the correct positioning and sufficient attachment of such a seat in a motor vehicle. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] For a long time, there have been various types of child seats designed to be fitted in motor vehicles. These child seats are most frequently attached to the seat of the vehicle on which they are fitted using the safety belt present at this point in the vehicle. [0003] Depending on the case, this belt may act directly on the seat, for example by circulating to the rear of the back of said seat, in areas provided for this purpose. Other types of seats have been developed, which provide a base whereon they are attached. In this case, this base is generally attached to the seat of the vehicle. [0004] Vehicle safety belts now being equipped with auto...
